25 Questions
Which connector was standardized in TIA-568-A but faced resistance initially due to its cost?
Fiber SC
What was the main reason why SC connectors were not popular initially?
Higher price compared to ST
Why was SC (square connector) not widely used at first according to the text?
It was twice as expensive as ST
Which of the following was a disadvantage of the SC connector when it was first introduced?
Higher cost than ST
What is the primary purpose of implementing an acknowledgement and retransmission scheme?
To ensure reliable data transmission by detecting and correcting errors
What factor hindered the widespread adoption of SC connectors initially?
Higher price relative to ST connectors
Which of the following is a key benefit of implementing flow control in a communication system?
Preventing the receiver from being overwhelmed by data it cannot handle
What is the primary difference between an acknowledgement and retransmission scheme and flow control?
Acknowledgement and retransmission schemes are used for error detection and correction, while flow control is used for bandwidth management
Which layer of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is responsible for implementing flow control?
Transport layer
Which of the following is NOT a common technique used for implementing flow control in a communication system?
Error correction coding
What is the main purpose of the Transport Layer?
Provide reliable data delivery
Which protocol is associated with the Transport Layer in TCP/IP?
TCP
In addition to segmenting data into packets, what else can the Transport Layer provide?
Error detection and correction
Which layer is responsible for routing packets in a network?
Network Layer
What happens to information at the Transport Layer?
It receives data from upper layers and segments it

What is the primary function of the Data Link Layer?
To package raw bits from the Physical layer into frames
What type of data does the Data Link Layer receive from the Physical layer?
Raw bits
Which layer is responsible for routing data packets across networks?
Network layer
What is the term used for the structured packets created by the Data Link Layer?
Frames
Which statement best describes the relationship between the Physical and Data Link layers?
The Physical layer transmits raw bits, which the Data Link layer packages into frames
